Guards Your Berries

Don't Let The Birds Steal Your Berries, Defend Them!

Effective, Naturally

With FruitDefender deployed in your orchard, vineyard, berry patch, or garden, you can rest easy knowing that birds aren't!

FruitDefender™ is especially effective because it mimics natural predators. Fruit-damaging birds, such as starlings, robins, flickers, sparrows, blackbirds, and grackles are hunted by hawks and fear their presence. The FruitDefender™ is designed for movement in the wind, causing it to "fly" overhead. Stationary owl decoys are quickly ignored by birds, and cheap plastic hawks are too flimsy and unstable, but a sturdy, moving deterrent like FruitDefender™ is far more effective. Due to its metal construction and gliding design, the FruitDefender™ maintains the appearance of a hawk on active patrol that terrifies birds.

Defending Backyard Gardens

FruitDefender works just as well to protect gardens. The same birds that damage fruit in orchards and vineyards will also wreak havoc on garden plants, like strawberries, raspberries and tomatoes if given the chance.

Cost Effective, Made in America

Each FruitDefender™ can protect between 5-6 acres, making it an ideal choice for cost-effective bird protection, even if your fruit farm requires multiple FruitDefender™ deployments. It is far cheaper per acre than putting netting over every row, and can also be re-deployed season after season, maximizing your investment.

FruitDefender™ was created and tested in the USA, and is made in Jordan, Minnesota by American workers. Rest easy knowing that by purchasing FruitDefender™, you're supporting American workers and their families!

Success Stories

This summer I've had a terrible problem with birds eating the grapes on my backyard vines. Its maddening watching the birds land on my vines and eat the ripe grapes, then fly away before I can stop them. I put up the fruit defender hawk yesterday, they've already stopped coming around! It works very well, and I highly recommend it.

Chris in Florida

I purchased a FruitDefender for use in my sweet corn; it worked so well I ordered several more. And I've told numerous friends and fellow growers about the results I've had!

Michigan

I have used the FruitDefender for my home garden and have been very pleased with the results. So I believe this is valuable not only for the commercial fruit growers but also for home gardeners who are frustrated with the birds feasting on their fruit.

This has been a great help in decreasing the birds damage to my grapes. I have told other growers about it and know they have purchased it as well.

Easy To Install And Maintain

Each FruitDefender™ comes partially assembled, enabling you to fully assemble it in a few simple steps with only a screwdriver and a wrench or pair of pliers. Full assembly instructions are included, as well as instructions on building a yard arm to hang the FruitDefender™.

Once deployed, FruitDefender™ operates itself, and needs no fuel, power, or batteries.

Eco-Friendly and Shipped Responsibly

Because wind powers it, FruitDefender™ requires no power or fuel to operate, and creates no pollution or noise.

FruitDefender is made from strong, eco-friendly metal that has a minimal environmental impact and is 100% recyclable. It contains no plastic, and unlike cheap plastic imitations, FruitDefender is sturdy enough to be deployed season after season.
